Is It Not Good To Eat On The Loo ?
« on: 21/08/2009 11:24:39 »
Happy Freeday Everybody,

As a sheepy I of course luff to poo and also luff to eat...but as I was about to enjoy this tasty apple....

An Apple About To Be Enjoyed



..I recall being told once that I should not eat when doing a poo !...I can't recall why....but I do think the reason was physiological !

Is there any science about this ?..is it wrong to 'eat & evacuate ' at the same time ?


whajafink ?


hugs & shmishes



mwah mwah mwah !



Neil
Apples & Pears and Perhaps A Fondue
Can all Be Enjoyed whilst Doing A Poo !

It could be a major disaster if you confuse what the left and right hand are supposed to be doing.

Also, you might cause a bit of kewe if you have a 3 course meal.

Well, I know there are many gastric diseases that can be spread by not washing your hands after going to the toilet but presumably you can't catch these diseases from yourself? So if you're going to offer me a bite of that apple then it's a definite 'no thanks'.

It would be dangerous to eat food in our toilet because:

My wife likes cooking but it’s such a shame
Cos it looks like sh1t and it tastes just the same


Next job Poet Laureate, I think.

In 1975 Professor Gerba published a scientific article describing the little-known phenomenon of bacterial and viral aerosols due to toilet flushing. The more you learn about it, the scarier it sounds. According to Gerba, close-up photos of the germy ejecta look like "Baghdad at night during a U.S. air attack." The article ominously depicts a "floor plan of experimental bathroom with location of gauze pads for viral fallout experiments." A lot of virus fell on those gauze pads, Gerba found, and a lot of bacteria too. In fact, significant quantities of microbes floated around the bathroom for at least two hours after each flush.
